Regional Gatherings

CMASAS proudly celebrated the Grand Opening of its Texas Office in Midlothian with an unforgettable afternoon of community, connection, and celebration. The event welcomed current families, prospective families, Chamber of Commerce members, and community partners as we officially opened our doors and expanded our presence in Texas. Guests enjoyed delicious ice cream from Midlo Scoops while learning  more about CMASAS and the Texas Education Freedom Account (TEFA) program. We are especially grateful to the Midlothian Chamber of Commerce for their partnership and support as well as for capturing the excitement of the day on video. 

On Friday, January 16th, we gathered at the iconic Griffith Observatory for a regional event that brought families from as far as San Francisco and Las Vegas. We enjoyed a picnic lunch with sweeping views of the Hollywood Sign, Los Angeles, Mt. Wilson, and the Pacific Ocean, explored the observatory’s public telescopes, and walked through the Wilder Hall of the Eye to learn how humans have studied the sky over time. The grounds offered hands-on ways to observe the Sun and Moon and stroll a scale model of the solar system. We capped off the day in the planetarium with Signs of Life, a journey through the solar system, the Milky Way, and beyond.
